thistle quintessence

thistle quintessence expresses the most authentic essence of Mediterranean honeys.

Rare and intense, it maintains an ancient connection with tradition: in the past, thistle flowers were used to curdle milk for Tronchon cheese, made famous by Cervantes in his “Don Quixote”.

On the nose, it opens with notes of chrysanthemum, daisies, and peat, accompanied by hints of humus and fresh bark; on the palate, it is balanced and slightly astringent, with a persistent vegetal freshness.

Packaged in 200g.

Thistle quintessence pairs well with dishes based on legumes and grains, even in purees like hummus. It can be used to prepare sweet and sour sauces with sesame, mustard, cumin, oil, and vinegar, or to add complexity to mayonnaise. It is also ideal for renewing traditional recipes like tuna sauce or green sauce.
